This happens to me every so often. Well, I have never had so many people say "I'm going to Boston!!" to me, but you know. I am happy for them. Boston is an incredible place. Such a beautiful city. So many wonderful things. At least for me. But, that could just be because I feel led to go there. When I get sad because I am not there now, I have to remember that right now I am called to be in COLLEGE STATION. (not Boston, yet). Right now God is teaching me things here. I can not tell you how many times he has said to me that this is a time of preparation...for whatever he has for me down the road...
So, when I get the Boston blues, I play the thankfulness game...

Wow, girls! These are cool lists. Especially since I'm on both of them. Thankfulness is good.
I am abundantly thankful for my life. For Jesus. For friends. For living in a college town where I get to hang out with you wonderful girls everyday! My husband, who is waiting for me to come to bed so I better wrap it up, and my children!!! They are so much fun!!!
My list could go on but it's late. I love you girls!
